don't worry (that'll affect you BP)...I'm high risk too! 37 yes old diabetic with "questionable" blood pressure...I guess that means I haven't been diagnosed as having high BP, but there have been times is been slightly elevated so they want me to keep an eye on it...I'm 18w 5d and the baby is a perfect size and perfect heartbeat...it's nerve racking...hearing me tell you to not worry...my friends, family, and coworkers would be dying right now...because I'm such a worry wart...but you'll be put at ease when you see the heartbeat...hear the heartbeat and when you see your baby! Relax (easier said than done!) but I'm sure all will be fine..it's scary when they (dr's) constantly refer to you as "high risk" - try not to focus so much on our category...lol Good luck! It'll be fine ;)

I'm high risk due to age and an autoimmune disease. Baby and i are monitored weekly and everything has been perfect so far. High risk isn't so bad (of course when there are no issues), I get to see my baby girl more often through ultrasound and listen to her heartbeat weekly. Good luck and congrats, mama! Don't stress too much.

I'm 38 with high blood pressure and to gd pregnancies and now my 3rd gd pregnancy. I'm a high risk preg also. My blood pressure is saying under control now. I was also diagnosed with migraines at my last visit. The only difference with being high risk is that they will see you more and they will take extra measures with hou. I am 25w & 1d.

I'm considered high risk as well. Not necessarily because of age, 35, but because I have high blood pressure and am overweight. I'm on baby number five. I have also had a c-section with each child. The only difference is that I get an u/s every month and nst every month at about half way through my second trimester. Oh and regular blood work. I think they just want to be proactive and catch any issues before they become big problems.

I am the same. I'm 39 with chronic hypertension. I am considered high risk but my blood pressure goes down when I'm pregnant. I'm completely off meds right now. I would recommend a home blood pressure cuff (automatic) that way you can monitor your own. I take mine at least once a week and whenever I have a bad headache. Familiarize yourself with the signs of preeclampsia. But just because you have prenatal hypertension does not mean you will get preeclampsia.

I'm high risk. Not really because of age. I'm 37. High risk because i've had two second trimester losses and this pregnancy is already very complicated. I don't have any living children. I'll be having surgery on Friday. It's risky and I could miscarry. If I don't get the surgery the risk is greater of miscarriage. I'm scared and getting anxiety. They don't want to put me completely under but I might need it. Not sure if it's safe tho. I'll talk to the doctor about it.
